RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution Number 2006-255 _authorizing City staff to market for sale City
owned property located at 4120 Skyline Drive to pursuant to California Government Code
§37350 et. seq.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
In December 2001, the City council adopted Resolution Number 2001-350, accepting a
testamentary devise from Mrs. Margaret M. Brownley, Mrs. Brownley, a long time Carlsbad
resident, bequeathed her home located at 4120 Skyline Drive to the City of Carlsbad subject to
the condition that a life estate be given to Mrs. Brownley's long-time friend Ms. Barbara
Mailman. Upon the death of Mrs. Brownley, title was transferred to the City of Carlsbad with a
deed reserving the life estate to Ms. Mailman.
In late 2005, the attorney representing Ms. Brownley's estate contacted the City Attorney to
advise him that Ms. Mailman, for personal reasons, wished to relinquish her life estate, leaving
the City owned property unencumbered. A quit claim deed in favor of the City of Carlsbad was
executed by Ms. Mailman and recorded with the San Diego County recorder on June 7, 2006.
The property is a single family residence located at 4120 Skyline Drive, on the southeast corner
of Skyline Drive and Tamarack Avenue. It was constructed in 1958 and sits on approximately
.72 acres. To date numerous inquiries and unsolicited verbal offers to purchase the property
have been received by City staff. In June 2006 an appraisal was completed to determine the
property's Fair Market Value. On September 6, 2006 the Carlsbad Planning Commission made
a determination pursuant to Government Code §65402, that the sale of the property is
consistent with the City's General Plan.
If the City Council adopts the attached Resolution that directs the sale of the property, staff will
proceed with negotiating the terms and conditions of a sale with prospective buyers. Staff will
return to the City Council prior to execution of a Purchase and Sales Agreement and the
opening of an Escrow for the property.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The net proceeds of the sale, which will be in excess of one million dollars, will be deposited
into the City's General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The Planning Director has determined that the project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section
15061(b)(3) exempts projects or activities where it can be seen with certainty that there is not
possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. Sale of the
property with no change in its use, only a change in the property ownership on title, will have no
impact on the environment.
